Single-processor scheduling with time restrictions

چکیده
Abstract We consider the following list scheduling problem. We are given a set S of jobs which are to be scheduled sequentially on a single processor. Each job has an associated processing time which is required for its processing. Given a particular permutation of the jobs in S, the jobs are processed in that order with each job started as soon as possible, subject only to the following constraint: For a fixed integer B 2, no unit time interval [x, x+1) is allowed to intersect more than B jobs for any real x. It is not surprising that this problem is NP-hard when the value B is variable (which is typical of many scheduling problems).

An Efficient Bi-objective Genetic Algorithm for the Single Batch-Processing Machine Scheduling Problem with Sequence Dependent Family Setup Time and Non-identical Job Sizes
This paper considers the problem of minimizing make-span and maximum tardiness simultaneously for scheduling jobs under non-identical job sizes, dynamic job arrivals, incompatible job families,and sequence-dependentfamily setup time on the single batch- processor, where split size of jobs is allowed between batches. At first, a new Mixed Integer Linear Programming (MILP) model is proposed for t...
متن کاملOn the NP-hardness of scheduling with time restrictions
In a recent paper, Braun, Chung and Graham [1] have addressed a single-processor scheduling problem with time restrictions. Given a fixed integer B ≥ 2, there is a set of jobs to be processed by a single processor subject to the following B-constraint. For any real x, no unit time interval [x, x+1) is allowed to intersect more than B jobs. The problem has been shown to be NP-hard when B is part...
متن کاملA New Branch-and-Bound for the Problem of Mean Completion Time for the Single Machine with Release Time
Preemptively scheduling a set of independent jobs with release time on one processor is a historical problem. In this paper, the same problem has been considered in which objective is to minimize the mean flow time. To prepare a perfect branch-and-bound, some optimality conditions have been represented and they have been compared with the optimality conditions which have been proposed before. O...

One of the main features of High Throughput Computing systems is the availability of high power processing resources. Cloud Computing systems can offer these features through concepts like Pay-Per-Use and Quality of Service (QoS) over the Internet. Many applications in Cloud computing are represented by workflows. Quality of Service is one of the most important challenges in the context of sche...
